[Elite Suggestion] Sea Witch

[Regon Phoenix.8215]

Theme: a necromancer joined a crew of pirates, but the ship he was on was attacked and sank together with all the crew. As necromancer was dying, strange new dark powers emerged from the deep and transformed him into Water Lich. He resurrected his crew as some sort of undead fishmen and toke over lark portions of sea trading routes. Some heroes banded together and eventually killed this Water Lich, but they also gained knowledge (dairies, notes, items) how to turn necromancer into something similar to a Water Lich. From that knowledge a new school of water-based necromancy was born.

The idea and theme of this is great.

One thing I am not sure about though is the use of trident and spear as their skins are quite limited =(

Yeah, me too. But they already have some skins and they fit very well. In addition, imagine the next expansion being somewhere in seas discovering new continent or new islands. That would give incentive to make more skins for water weapons and would actually make this elite extremely fitting.

[Regon Phoenix.8215]

Updated this concept slightly.
